Harmonic Boundary Series

The table below is an example for harmonic constituents for Trakhuc estuary.

STEPS FOR ADDING INPUT HARMONIC CONSTITUENTS TABLE

1. Click to the E button  which is next to Harmonics (See Figure 1)
2. Enter the Number of Series, which is 1 for this case (see Figure 2)
3. Enter the Title of Series, as "Tides"
4. Enter the Number of Harmonic Constituents to Use, in the case there are 8.
5. Copy the tidal constituent values from above table into the form.
6. You may want to click View button in the Figure 2 to see the tidal timeseries plot as shown in Figure 3
7. Click Close and Return to exit the plot
8. Click OK button in the Figure 2 to finish.

to assign tides to the open boundary cells, steps are introduced in section 4.3.2 (Build a 3D Coastal Model (Level 2 Step-by-Step Guidance). However, instead of choosing tidal series for Pressure, the user selects the series for Harmonic as shown in Figure 4.
